He Dachun was very hungry and kept devouring the fragrant food.

Mo San didn't leave. He continued to stay in He Dachun's house, eating with him, and even had someone bring him a jug of wine.

"Uncle Dachun, you came here with the young master and the young lady. It's really hard to travel on the road. I bought this wine from outside. Don't dislike it."

"Here, let me toast you." Mo San first filled He Dachun's bowl, and then poured a bowl for himself. He was minding his own business, so he did it first as a token of respect.

He Dachun already loved drinking, but now that he saw Mo San was so enthusiastic, he stopped being polite, picked up the bowl, and drank too.

"Mo San, you have been here for two months, right. What were you doing in the mansion before the young master and the young lady came?"

He Dachun was not confused. He knew that Mo San was trying to please him intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't mind either.

He has a sense of what should be said and what should not be said.

Not only was Mo San trying to please him and asking him about the young master and young madam, but he also wanted to ask Mo San about the situation in the mansion.

After all, I lived here before returning to the village for the New Year this year.

Furthermore, if the young master's examination in the spring of next year goes well, he might have the opportunity to enter the palace examination, become an official, and stay in the capital.

From then on, not only the young master and the young madam, but also the master and his wife may come, and his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson may also come to the capital!

He Dachun squinted his eyes, drank another bowl of wine with a smile, and looked at Mo San.

Mo San followed suit and drank half a bowl before replying: "Uncle Dachun, to be honest, I studied for a few years before, but then my family fell into decline, so I sold myself and became someone else's slave."

"I used to work as a boy in another wealthy family. Because the master of that family committed something, we were all sold out."

"Later at the market, I happened to meet Mr. He who wanted to buy someone. I saw that Mr. He was a kind and kind master, so I volunteered and recommended myself to the Lu family."

Mo San paused, picked up the bowl again, drank the remaining half of the bowl of wine, and continued: "It has been two months since we came to the Lu family. During these two months, all of us have followed Master He's instructions. As ordered, the yard was cleaned inside and out, and a lot of furniture was added.

"Just these things have been busy for half a month." Although the Lu family only has three rooms in the courtyard, each room is very large, and the previous owner has not lived there for a long time. There is a lot of dust and many things cannot be used. used.

"The rest of the time, we have to repair the roof and replace the roof tiles."

"Also, the flowers and plants you see in the yard now were all bought and planted by us before. In short, two months have passed since we started working on them."

He Dachun nodded when he heard this. Just changing the tiles on the roof would take a lot of effort.

However, it seems that the young master has never mentioned the matter of replacing roof tiles before.

It seems that Mr. He quietly asked for the replacement. These three tiles in the courtyard are not cheap. Replacing them all can't be done without hundreds of taels of silver.

"Mo San, you have worked hard, don't worry, as long as you work hard, the masters will not treat you badly."

Mo San nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Da Chun, after listening to you, I know that our master, my wife, the young lady, and the young master are all very good masters."

"Those of us who are servants are not afraid of hard work, but we are afraid of not meeting a good master."

In the capital, many masters of wealthy families did not treat their servants as human beings at all.

It seems that they are lucky! Mo San thought to himself, feeling very lucky that he had volunteered to recommend himself to Mr. He.

The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, drinking wine and eating vegetables until late at night. He Dachun yawned, and Mo San left.

He Dachun cleaned up the dishes, lay down, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, when Gu Yunxi woke up, the first thing he did was to call Mo San over.

When Mo San was called over, he was still a little scared, thinking that his master knew about his drinking with He Dachun last night.

"Young lady, please look for me." Mo San lowered his head, not daring to look at Yun Xi at all.

A trace of doubt flashed in Gu Yunxi's eyes, but she didn't think much about it. She thought it was the matter of selling Uncle Zhang yesterday, which left Mo San with lingering fears.

She got straight to the point: "Mo San, don't be nervous. I came to you to ask you who in our house is familiar with the capital. I want to go out for a walk."

"Ah?" Mo San was obviously a little surprised. It turned out that the young lady came to him because she found out about drinking last night. That's good, that's good!

Mo San breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Madam, when it comes to the capital, I have to be the most familiar with it. I have been in the capital for many years."

"As for the maids, Xiao Cui and Xiao'e are the most familiar. The two of them were in other wealthy families in the capital."

"Xiao'e and Xiaocui?" Gu Yunxi repeated, and then said: "Then go and call them over first, and ask them to go out for a walk with me."

Mo San nodded and went out immediately.

Gu Yunxi turned around and went to the study room, where he saw Lu Jianchuan busy preparing an article he had written to take to the dean's friend.

She smiled and asked: "Achuan, don't you think that if you want to take your article with you, you just want to visit me?"

Lu Jianchuan nodded: "Well, that's indeed what I planned..."

From the moment he heard Gu Yunxi ask this question, he realized that it seemed inappropriate for him to go with only the article.

Lu Jianchuan thought for a while and said, "Daughter-in-law, what gifts do you think we should prepare?"

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "I asked Mo San to find two maids who are familiar with the capital and take us out for a walk. We will buy some clothes for you first."

"Let's go to the bookstore and see if there's anything handy that can be used as a gift without being rude."

Lu Jianchuan is still just a civil servant, but because of the relationship with the dean, he has the opportunity to visit the other party's home. The gifts he sends should not be too expensive or too cheap.

You must know that the other party is the Minister of Rites. Although Gu Yunxi does not understand the affairs of the court, he also knows that this official position is not low based on his historical experience in his previous life.

Moreover, isn’t the Ministry of Rites responsible for the imperial examinations? It is so important for Lu Jianchuan to have a good relationship with Yuan Shilang!

As for buying some clothes... Gu Yunxi thought about what happened to Uncle Zhang yesterday, thought about it carefully, and felt that the clothes they were wearing now were too simple.

This is no longer Xijiang Village, it is the capital city, and the way you dress is all about your face outside.

Hearing this, Lu Jianchuan had no objection and nodded: "Daughter-in-law, let's not visit Mr. Yuan today. We'll go shopping first and then go there tomorrow."

Gu Yunxi said "hmm", took Lu Jianchuan's hand and walked out.
